falconsunite Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We are in trouble if the eagles pass as much as they normally do. wATCH OUT FOR THOSE SCREENS FALCONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrano Case Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yep, we have to trust Van Gorder to get the Falcons D ready. Eagles do have speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrano Case Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Do we know what the status is for Westbrook? Bc if he is not playing this game will be almost even.All I have heard is that Westbrook has the cracked ribs. With only three weeks to recover, he's likely doubtful, but Burckhalter is a great replacement, so it doesn't really matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmsman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well I dont feel like going to look for the correct stats but without Westbrook the Eagles have a dismal record. BuckHalter is not nearly the total back Westbrook is. He can run the ball, but his pass protection and route running skills dont come close.I think West will most likely play, but I think a couple hard tackles and those ribs will start coming back to haunt him. I see him starting the game, but not finishing it.Andy Reid should be smart and keep him out another week anyway. You cant rush cracked ribs, especially when your jub is to run through the tackles.

DurtyBirds02 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 ya agreed. For his sake they really shouldn't play him. I think they are the best screen throwing team in the legaue, but without westbrook they are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosmith67 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 One of the keys will be shutting out the Eagles offense in the first quarter and hope that our O can convert some drives into touchdowns (not just FG's).. the Falcons D has played very well in most of the first quarters, they just need to find a way to continue that momentum through a full game.

Karst41 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Aerosmith:IMO to accomplish this would be to keep our D off the field as much as possible,so as to keep our DB's Legs fresh as possible.To accomplish this we need to establish the RUN (Thunder and Lightning)This should keep the DB's Honest and increase our passing percentages,and keep the game tight.

clownorg Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 There is no way Westbrooks ribs are healed, he may play, but he'll be sore.A few really good hits on him and we can put him on the sideline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
